Chapter 257: 100,000 Corpses!
Zhang Zichen thought about it repeatedly, and found that his thinking may have been limited from the beginning, his previous speculation about the motives of the demon clan and the demon clan to start this war was based on the premise that the other party wanted to obtain the occupation and domination of the Kunlun realm, so as to obtain the cultivation resources of the Kunlun realm.
However, the other party's current behavior is completely meaningless for the purpose of seizing resources.
For example, the reason why the court fell into disadvantage today was that some of the supreme combat power of the Heavenly Court such as Lao Jun was transferred away from the mountain, and it was suspected that they were stranded outside the Three Realms.
Then with Lao Jun's strength, it is impossible for there to be a force within the Three Realms that can completely kill them, even if they are temporarily trapped, they will come back sooner or later.
And once Lao Jun and them come back, the power of Heavenly Court will regain the upper hand, even if the other party has eliminated their 50,000 Heavenly Soldiers now and temporarily occupied the Kunlun Realm, then sooner or later they will be taken back by Heavenly Court.
If this is the case, if Zhang Zichen is the ruler of the demon clan, he will definitely not stalk the Heavenly Soldier City like this, wasting his strength and strength, but only need to besiege the Heavenly Soldier City on the premise of gaining absolute superiority, so that the defenders in the city will not act rashly.
Then take advantage of this opportunity to harvest the cultivation resources accumulated in the Kunlun Realm for tens of thousands of years.
According to common sense, this is in line with the interests of the vast majority of demons involved in this war, without fighting to the dead, they can also get cultivation resources, for the middle and low levels of the coalition army, this is the best way to ensure their own interests.
However, the current development of things is not in line with interests and common sense, and the decision-making level of the Demon Alliance cannot be the kind of madman and fool who starts a war as soon as his brain is hot, and has to fight with Heaven to the end no matter what.
So since the decision-making level of the Demon Alliance is not a fool, such a big game of chess is also involved by Western Hell, Sea Cucumber Poseidon, Atlantis and other forces, to say that they have no purpose, they are just crazy, and the ghost believes it.
Extrapolating from this, then at least it shows that the purpose and interests of the decision-makers who started this war are not consistent with the minions at the lower levels, that is to say, their actions are most likely not for the resources of the Kunlun Realm, or even for the Kunlun Realm, but probably for the entire Heavenly Court or even a bigger plan!
But what does the other party want to do, in the absence of sufficient evidence and auxiliary news, Zhang Zichen can't figure it out, after all, he still doesn't know who is the main force that started this war - who is behind the alliance between the demon clan and the demon clan, is it the old demon emperor Donghuang Taiyi or the new demon emperor who once competed with Haotian God?
I don't know if the changes outside the world and the lack of news from Lao Jun are also a conspiracy set by the initiators behind the scenes.
From the current point of view, it can only take one step at a time, and the current situation of Heavenly Court is not too bad, because although the opponent's strength is temporarily suppressing Heavenly Court, the top strength and backbone force do not seem to be much higher than Heavenly Court, at least at present, the appearance of the Eastern Emperor Taiyi and the legendary Lord of the Demon Clan.
Otherwise, the other party doesn't have to confront each other like this, just need the old supreme powerhouse Donghuang Taiyi to palm it one by one, I'm afraid that the entire Heavenly Soldier City and the 50,000 heavenly soldiers in the city have already turned into powder, where do you need to spend these things.
There is a city wall, the sound of fighting continues, the war has been launched for half a day now, but the attacking side has not seen any signs of stopping, the cannon fodder army of the demon clan has left no less than seventy or eighty thousand corpses under the city, and the fifteen thousand heavenly soldiers of the first echelon defending the city have also suffered more than 1,000 killed and four or five thousand lightly and seriously injured, and most of the rest are exhausted, and the end of the strong crossbow.
So the Golden Armor Heavenly King immediately ordered the tired and wounded soldiers on the city to be withdrawn, and then sent the 15,000 heavenly soldiers of the second echelon.
Before the arrival of the war, the Golden Armor Heavenly King had already divided nearly 50,000 heavenly soldiers into four forces, of which three echelons had 15,000 people each, led by three experienced heavenly generals, as the main force and rotation force to defend the city, and the three echelons took turns to fight and invoke each other.
The fourth force is the remaining 4,000 or so soldiers and horses, this heavenly army is divided into four squads, each team of 1,000 people, led by four brave lieutenant generals of the heavenly army, and these four thousand troops will be used as a mobile force under the personal command of the Golden Armor Heavenly King, according to the battlefield situation, by the Golden Armor Heavenly King at any time, send them to increase the force to deal with the weak part of the city defense.
From the encounter between the Celestial Army and the Demon Clan's vanguard army on the periphery, to the previous rain of arrows attack and hand-to-hand combat when defending the city, the Celestial Army has lost nearly 3,000 people in battle, and more than 2,000 seriously wounded people have lost their combat effectiveness, which is equivalent to a direct loss of one-tenth of the troops in half a day's attack and defense.
And these 5,000 casualties are exchanged for the casualties of more than 100,000 demon troops, of which at least 90,000 are absolute deaths, because the demon clan is the party besieging the city, but whenever the demon army is injured and falls during the siege, it will be quickly trampled into pulp by the next army, that is to say, for the attacking demon army, once injured, it is also equivalent to death.
And the more than 100,000 casualties of the demon army are by no means all cannon fodder troops, at least about 10,000 of them are the elite army of the demon clan whose combat strength is not weaker than that of the heavenly soldiers defending the city, otherwise, only 100,000 cannon fodder troops will not cause such large casualties to the heavenly army.
It is precisely because of this ten thousand demon clan elite soldiers mixed with the cannon fodder army besieging the city that the combat power of the cannon fodder army has been invisibly improved and the casualties of the heavenly army have been increased.
At this point, both sides were actually a little red-eyed, and each had no way to retreat, and the 15,000 people in the second echelon of the new rotation of the city soon fell into a life-and-death battle with the demon army besieging the city.
The heavenly soldiers and generals on the city, holding a three-zhang long iron spear, stood on the battlements of the city wall, and stabbed mercilessly at the demon soldiers who were clinging to the ladder and were about to approach the head of the cityใ
What's more, he could obviously dodge the spear of the heavenly soldier, but he would rather take the risk of being stabbed in the shoulder and arm by the heavenly soldier, but also take this opportunity to use the power of the spear to climb up, or even kill the heavenly soldier who was dragged by the weapon and had no protection.
There are also heavenly soldiers with hook and sickle guns in the city, and when they see the ladder on the city wall, they use the hook and sickle to push it out of the city wall, until the ladder and the demon soldiers attached to it lose their support and fall to the ground.
The original color can no longer be distinguished on the city wall, the blood of the soldiers on both sides soaked the city wall of the Heavenly Soldier City, the old blood has not dried, and the new blood is splashed on it, which is particularly tragic.
And next to the city wall are broken ladders and more layers of corpses of demon soldiers, occasionally mixed with the corpses of some heavenly soldiers who have fallen into the city, layer upon layer, already half the height of the city wall!
It's like a "wall" made of flesh and blood!
